it's possible... i had missed the screen that allowed you to start without booting/using the system linux. however, now that i'm in parted, i get an error when i try to 'resize' the root partition. i do 'resize 3 A B' and the system returns with 'Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled'. i used 'tune2fs -O ^dir_index' /dev/hda(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) in the hopes that the 'dir_index' might be cauing the issue.. (other sites had discussed this) i still have the same err msg... i'm using the FC3 rescue cd for parted, and any utils that i need. any thoughts/ideas... thanks -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Paul Howarth Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 9:01 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: booting from the FC rescue CD bruce wrote: > paul... > > is it possible to boot from the rescue cd without mounting my hard drives.. > if it is.. do you know how? > > i think it should be.. but i can't find out how! I don't know offhand. Can't you just unmount the drives? Paul. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
